I so want a 17-55 . I know you got a little more zoom range and an L to-boot but why did you get rid of the f2.8 janern?

The main reason is the FF compatibility of the 24-105L as a I want my newly acquired 5D2 to be my new general purpose camera. The 17-55/2.8 is a great lens, and when I bought it I never thought I would ever sell it. I didn't think FF was for me, but things have changed since then

.Similarly to Bjorn so far as timing is concerned, I sold my 5D2 a while back and my EF 85mm f/1.2L USM a few weeks ago. That lens turned out to be very cheap to own as I got virtually the full purchase price back, prices having gone up somewhat over my period of ownership. Unlike Bjorn I'm not quite ready to commit to Leica yet as I want to see what they are about to announce next month!
